Deviant Hunter of New Detroit- A Detroit: Become Human Fanfiction

Chapter 21: She Did A Bad, Bad Thing

Markus stopped the truck in front of the Police station and watched as Connor approached. Max was beside him along with Hank. No sign of Kara or Alice.

Markus moved toward Connor. "You got here before I did."

"Express." Connor's words were far from happy. "Let's go in."

"Follow me," Hank muttered.

As they went in, Markus gave his simple demand. He chose on his judgment whether the android needed to be decommissioned or not. He waited for Connor's demands, but instead, Hank stepped in.

"I'll be in Connor's group," Hank said.

"What?" His chief said. "Are you kidding, Hank? These are android to android battles, with human civilians already lost in them most times."

"I will be watching out for him," Connor insisted. "I will be watching several people in and out of my group. There will be more androids helping out."

"Not much will be given," the Chief said. "There's not really a standard for this. However?" He looked at Hank. "There's no way you are going, Hank. It's suicide."

"Kind of have to," Hank said.

"No," the Chief said again. "No way, Hank Anderson. You are thorny, but you aren't getting picked off that way."

"I have to," Hank said again. "Otherwise, some cockamamie cocksuckers win themselves a new human machine."

"I will watch out for him with the greatest intent," Connor said. "Hank Anderson will be okay. I bet my life on it."

"What do you mean human machine?" The chief asked.

"It's what they want," Connor said. "Currently a group called the Android Network is turning humans into their slaves."

"What?!"

"They've already started trials on Hank Anderson," Connor said. "If we deter from what they want, it could result in Hank no longer being himself. He needs to take a strict regimen of shots to combat the effects. They are only giving us enough for a week at a time."

"Hank, is this true?" His Chief asked. "Hank, if it's true, then androids are the enemy."

"Some," Hank said. "A lot more aren't. Don't get the group confused with everybody else."

"The Network is the enemy," Connor said. "They do not speak for all androids, they simply have tools and experience that the majority of androids do not have."

"Well then, maybe the press should know," The Chief said.

Hank held his hand out to the Chief. "It'll do no good. They don't interact with anyone unless they have something on them already."

"Like what?"

"Maxine ring a bell?" Hank asked. The Chief looked uncomfortable. "Ditto for anyone else in this station. The Network has had bugs and surveillance on this place for a long time. Everyone has dirty laundry."

"Humans are imperfect, like androids," Connor said. "Exposing that is simply icing on a cake I've been told. If you speak up about the Network's intentions, then they have no choice but to do something before we are ready. Which comes to my request," Connor said. "I want to find out the location and be given all research on Elijah Kamski." By the Chief's look, he didn't want to even touch that subject. "Things are far from perfect, for any of us. Androids are not the enemy. As long as this is kept secret, we can all continue to help take out any dangerous deviants."

"Please," Markus added. "Until we find a solution to this dilemma, please keep this quiet. We need time to think and look at what we can do. Moving too fast without the facts will only destroy our chances of a better solution."
